[USRP-users] Hello all;

2021-06-17 Thread rblack
My current gnuradio/UHD  install has the xml files for a number of RFNoc blocks 
in /usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks; e.g. uhd_rfnoc_radio.xml.

But I do not have such a file for the rfnoc replay block, even though I do have 
the rfnoc replay function in my firmware .bit load.  Does such a block exist? 
Also has anyone ever used the “replay block” in a grc flowgraph?

Currently I have UHD 3.15,  but will soon have v 4.0

thanks rb

N210 is different, as it uses the standard Ettus interchangeable 
daughter board standard. Some daughterboards have features to fully 
phase align synthesizers after a retune, some not depending which 
chips they are based on. UBX for example can be fully phase aligned, 
but I don’t think WBX can.
I don’t recall the full product matrix as to which daughter boards

-Ian


I confirm that the N310 can be made coherent, using 10Mhz REF and 1PPS, 
but with the usual phase-ambiguity proviso.


For N2xx, the SBX allows phase-resynch, and the WBX allows phase-resynch 
with a residual 0/180 phase ambiguity (again, 2XLO

  phase splitter).

I *think* that phase coherency across multiple N310s using common 
reference and 1PPS will work, but I'm going to verify with

  Ettus engineering.

There'll be the usual proviso that there won't be strict phase 
alignment, mutual phase noise will be higher than with a shared-LO

  approach, etc.

The N310 can accept an 2XLO input, but this has a 180deg phase 
ambiguity, due to the 2X nature of the LO (The incoming LO is
  at twice the desired tuned frequency, and the phase split has a 0/180 
deg ambiguity).

Sam sent you a little bit the wrong direction there, the B200mini has the PLL

The B210 can be fully time and frequency locked to an external 10MHz reference

that the internal frequency synthesizers will have a residual phase ambiguity

Hey Brais,

Check out this thread:
http://lists.ettus.com/pipermail/usrp-users_lists.ettus.com/2017-May/052761.html

It looks like the PLL mechanism used to discipline the onboard oscillator
results in enough phase noise to preclude its implementation in a MIMO
setup. At least in a setup that spans multiple devices.
